Answer:

20

Explanation:

These are vertical angles, which means that the measurements would be the same. Set the two angles equal to each other.

3x + 50 = 6x - 10

Isolate the variable, x. Subtract 6x and 50 from both sides.

3x (-6x) + 50 (-50) = 6x (-6x) - 10 (-50)

3x - 6x = -10 - 50

Simplify.

-3x = -60

Isolate the variable, x. Divide -3 from both sides

(-3x)/-3 = (-60)/-3

x = -60/-3

x = 20

20 is your answer for x.
